    MXP90DL- Having to turn Ludicrous+ on every time I "start" my car?

    Having it on all the time isn't really great for the health of the battery. It makes more sense that it shuts off.

    Is the emergency release button in the Frunk disabled when the car is in motion?

    I don't think anyone has ever had that issue in the first place to know the answer. Maybe an email to Tesla would better answer your question. Really it would take some serious force for something to press that button and I don't think it's a realistic concern.

    Quick question charging while door open

    It's because that "missing" half of the power is going to your HVAC system.

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    What years did Tesla do the unlimited mileage on the battery warranty? I thought 2013 was covered in that. EDIT: I just looked at my account and the warranty now says 8 years or 120000 miles, which is not what I had when I got my car. It used to be 8 years, unlimited miles. This really needs...

    Supercharger - Frederick, MD

    Why do these things happen during the work day? I would love to go, but not so much that I'd take off work. The West Nyack, NY supercharger did the same thing. The mall there had a pretty big setup and a pretty poor turnout.

    2013 Model S w/ "85D" Badging

    HV Battery replacement

    Bad cells aren't the only thing that can go wrong in a battery pack. When I had my pack replaced, it was because of a faulty sensor. The pack got sent to California, the sensor will get changed out, and someone else will get the pack.

    HV Battery replacement

    They don't make an 85 kWhr battery anymore, so you're definitely not getting a new one. You'll either get an 85 or a 90. There's nothing wrong with getting a refurbished battery. I wouldn't sweat it.

    This is the fastest I've ever seen my car charge. 2015 P90D The only one other car here right now besides me.

    Supercharger - Frederick, MD

    I've seen a video where someone points the charge connector at the ground and hits it on the bottom of their shoe a few times to get it to fall out. YMMV

    Supercharger outage Allentown, PA

    There is an L2 charger at Whole foods down the road. Plugshare says it free.

    what are these new yellow lines on the "energy" screen in dash?

    Completely normal for that temperature range.

    Supercharger - Waterbury CT

    I'm charging here for the first time today. I've never seen the charging cabinets so far way from the charger before.

    Is Electrify America a scam for EV's?

    Conspiracy theory time: Big oil is somehow involved in this pricing to make the EVs less attractive to the average consumer. Tesla is the only manufacturer so far immune to being paid off by big oil.

    Supercharger - Allentown, PA

    4B and 2A wouldn't even open the charge port. Plugged in at 2A anyway and my charging indicator light didn't even light up.

    Supercharger - Allentown, PA

    I'm on my way there today. I took an unusual stop in Harrisburg because of the reduced service. I'll report back with what I find when I get there.

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    That just seems like such a one-off scenario. When you're in reverse, I don't even know why changing HVAC options would be on your mind.

    Accelerator pressed : cruise will not brake when pedal isn’t pressed

    This is pretty concerning. I wonder if it also means that it's not going to react to a vehicle in front of you.

    Supercharger - Hanover, MD

    When I was on my way home today I noticed this location is now officially on the Tesla map.

    Supercharger - Parsippany, NJ

    Turns out it was a transformer owned by the power company that caught fire, not any of Tesla's equipment. Tesla 'had nothing to do with 'Supercharger fire,' says local fire official - Electrek

    I finally got 2019.36.2.1. Release notes wouldn't load and "Creep" was turned off without notifying me. That was a weird surprise.

    Supercharger - Frederick, MD

    They turned Hanover, MD on today, so maybe this was the next stop after that one.

    Supercharger - Hanover, MD

    I thought about stopping by today, but then I was like nah, it won't be ready yet. I guess I was wrong and you beat me to it.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the pre-raven Model S is not getting that feature.

    How long will cabin pre-heating stay enabled?

    I use Teslafi to schedule my pre-conditioning. My schedule looks like this: In the AM, it starts about 10 minutes before I would normally leave. If I am still home 30 minutes after I normally leave it shuts off. Similar thing for work, 10 minutes before I leave. But it stops 10 minutes after I...

    How long will cabin pre-heating stay enabled?

    You'll get a notification after 4 hours, I think it turns off when your battery gets below 20%.

    Passenger reactions to full acceleration

    I don't have any crazy stories, but I did make one of my front seat passengers lose their phone in the back seat once.

    Dictation Button

    Yep. It's pretty much normal.
  34. ckoval7

    Are these normal, or is it time for a service call?

    Tesla really need to do a better job informing new owners about the characteristics of winter driving. I wonder how many calls to Tesla service are simply because they're not getting full regen regen on a cold morning.

    Supercharger - Newark, DE

    Stall 1A is broken. I did not try 1B. 2A is working great!

    Battery pack swap out today- question for y'all

    They have to drain the old battery pack below a certain level for shipping. They have to update the firmware on the car to get it to detect the new hardware.
  37. ckoval7

    what are these new yellow lines on the "energy" screen in dash?

    The yellow triangle only pops up for a few seconds when the amount of regen changes.

    Supercharger - Phillipsburg, NJ

    At what point do we lose all hope in this site and just consider it a no-go?

    Supercharger - Boonton, NJ

    I hope this opens up before Thanksgiving. It will save me from stopping in Allentown, PA. Ideally, the Phillipsburg, NJ SuC would be all I need on my trip, but at 640 days since the permit was filed and no sign of construction, I'm not keeping my hopes up.

    Do other construction projects get stalked like this, or is this a weird experience for the workers?

    50 hp software upgrade coming for Model S

    Whenever they tweet about something coming out, they mean something is coming out for people with the latest hardware.

    Supercharger upgrade? Altamonte Springs FL

    A V3 upgrade would require a significant amount of construction at the site. If they were in the process of doing that, you would not have been able to charge.

    I have a feeling we won't see anything new in the release notes until they increment the 32. That's assuming your release notes load at all :(

    Can't force a charge at 94%

    You might have to go out and unplug then replug the charger.

    What's the most you've ever paid to charge an EV?

    Whenever I go somewhere unfamiliar, I like to look around plugshare and get an idea of what chargers are near by and what they might cost. A few months ago, I was out in some tiny town in Indiana. There was only one charger that was charging $0.40 per kWh. Ouch! That's just as expensive as gas...
